This trilogy marks the progress from the early film Grand Day Out to A Close Shave. The most incredible thing I found in this is the transition from what is obviously, fairly basic plasticine figures, to the fluid and individual characters Wallace and Gromit have now become. This is a must if you're a fan of the duo, or just want something you can put on when the family's round.

In A Grand Day Out, the sudden discovery that they are out of cheese prompts panic in the household. Wallace, a Wensleydale freak, cannot be without his cheese. Outside the moon is shining brightly and everyone knows that the moon is made of cheese so their weekend adventure is decided. The mice in the basement are a glimpse of what we're to expect of the humour that is to take up a more prominent place in future films. Just a small shot of them donning sunglasses as the rocket lifts, brings a smile.

Their orange space rocket gets Wallace and Gromit to the moon and they're enjoying a picnic feast of moon cheese when a coin-operated custodian, which for all the world looks like an old gas meter with a penchant for skiing threatens to ruin their holiday.

The Wrong Trousers starts at number 62, West Wallaby St. It's Gromit's birthday and Wallace unwraps his giftwrapped present and newest invention – a pair of automated trousers. A lodger has been installed. A Penguin. He is shrouded in mystery and is not very popular with Gromit as his bedroom is the one in which the lodger now resides. It isn’t long before things go wrong and the lodger forces Gromit out. Gromit soon uncovers the Penguin's evil scheme and the scene is set for a train-top showdown of Hitchcockian proportions.

The lovely Wendolene is the Love interest in A Close Shave. Our two heroes have a new window cleaning business and Wendolene calls to ask them for their services. The attractive Wendolene Ramsbottom captures Wallace's heart, but Gromit is onto her plans to steal Wallace's latest invention, the Knit-o-matic.

Gromit is 'banged up' for sheep steeling and this looks like the end for our illustrious pair.

These are a nice set of films to have in your stock and the usual brilliant quality of the Ardman stable is evident at all times, even in the first and earlier film Grand Day Out.

Enjoy, and thank you for reading my review.
